EasyTicket Veteran Kalguksu Main Branch
📍 풍남동(한옥마을), Jeonju
This kalguksu restaurant has been around since 1977 and now sits on Gyeonggijeon-gil at the entrance to Hanok Village. Its signature is the thick broth generously mixed with perilla-seed powder.
Besides kalguksu, it also serves jjolmyeon and mandu, with kongguksu available in summer. The mandu have thin wrappers packed full with filling, so a common choice is to order one alongside the kalguksu and share.
Turnover is fairly quick, so even if there's a line, the wait usually isn't long. Many people stop here for a simple meal before or after walking around Hanok Village.

Useful tips
- The broth is thick, so add the seaweed flakes and chili powder little by little to adjust the flavor.
- For two people, two kalguksu plus one order of mandu is usually just the right amount.
- There is a line at mealtimes, but turnover is fast, so the wait usually isn't long.
- In summer, kongguksu is available, making it a good choice when hot broth feels like too much.
- It's only a few minutes' walk from Gyeonggijeon Shrine's main gate, so it's easy to add before or after your visit.
Frequently asked questions
What does perilla-seed kalguksu taste like?
Perilla-seed powder gives the broth a thick, nutty flavor. It's quite different from a clear kalguksu broth, so if it's your first time, add just a little seaweed flakes and chili powder, then taste it first.
What other dishes are available besides the signature menu?
kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup) / jjolmyeon / meat dumplings / kimchi dumplings / soba
